Each Flow-Through Unit will be comprised of one common share (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire a Common Share at a price of $0.50 per Common Share for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance.

Certain eligible persons may receive finder fees in connection with the Offering in the way of cash commission and/or compensation warrants. Generic Gold intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to incur Canadian exploration expenses (the “Qualifying Expenditures”) on its properties located in Yukon, Canada. Generic Gold will renounce the Qualifying Expenditures to subscribers of the Flow-Through Units for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month and one day statutory hold period. Completion of the Offering is also subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
